Hi Brett,
Currently, Fabric's operations like run() and sudo() just look at
env.host_string to determine which connection to use (and these are
cached.)
So to force a new connection as a different user, simply set
env.host_string to us...@current_host:current_port, and subsequent
calls to operations will use that new connection. (Eventually the
other env vars will be more intelligently used -- right now they're
used for defaults or are effectively read-only.)
A one-time overwrite of that setting will make the switch for the rest
of the session/script; or you can use the context manager to effect
the change only for a single block of code, e.g.:
@hosts('us...@myhost')
def foo():
# Connecting as userA
run('something')
sudo('something else')
with settings(host_string='us...@myhost'):
# Connecting as userB
run('something as user B')
# Connecting as userA again
run('yet another something')
For more details on how host connections work, see the 'Usage docs'
section of docs.fabfile.org.
Best,
Jeff
